Catedral Mezquita de Cordoba or Mosque-Catedral of Cordoba with a system of superimposed double arches; horseshoe arch (below) and semicircular arch (above) in the prayer hall.The twin colours is based upon the combination of brick alternates with stones.The site was originally a small temple of christian. When Muslims conquered Spain in 711, the church was first divided into Muslim and Christian halves. This sharing arrangement of the site lasted until 784, when the Christian half was purchased by the Emir 'Abd al-Rahman I, who then proceeded to demolish the original structure and build the grand mosque of Cordoba on its ground. Cordoba returned to Christian rule in 1236 and the building was converted to a Roman Catholic church and its function as christian religious services continue until today. #holahermosa #laislabonita #espana🇪🇸 #cordoba #summer2016 #melroadtograduation #inisejarahkita (at Catedral Mezquita De Córdoba)
